CC Staff

According to the Report in Deccan Herald;

The State government has ordered the district administration to suspend the village accountants, revenue inspectors and shirastedars who facilitated 26 cases of sale of agriculture land in violation of Karnataka Land Revenue Act in Kodagu district during 2005-10.

The deputy commissioner has also been ordered to recommend suspension of tahsildars of three taluks of the district. This is the first time in Kodagu district that the government has taken such a tough decision with regard to sale of agriculture land to non-agriculturists.

The Undersecretary of the Government and the additional regional commissioner of Mysore probed 1,833 cases of purchase or sale of agriculture land(valued at more that 5,00,000 lakh) in the last five years and were able to establish illegality in 26 cases. M C Nanaiah was the only politician from Coorg who had raised this issue and written to the Govt to check the trend which is causing loss of agricultural land in Coorg.
